Vertigo Relief, Dizziness Relief, Dizzy, Meniere’s Relief, Vertigo, Dizziness, Meniere’s , Meniere’s Disease Vertigo relates to numerous and varied underlying conditions. As a result, some of the underlying factors have been broken down into two categories. We are going to discuss these two categories of vertigo conditions as well as one natural way to seek help.

What Is Peripheral Vertigo?

Peripheral vertigo is by far the more common of the two categories. It involves underlying conditions that affect the inner ear and thus result in vertigo. Here are a few examples of peripheral vertigo:

  • Positional Vertigo – Also called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, this condition is the most common form of vertigo. Episodes of vertigo begin when the head moves in certain positions.
  • Concussion – When the head is injured, vertigo may become a short-term or long-term problem.
  • Meniere’s Disease – This is a rare condition that involves vertigo, tinnitus, a feeling of fullness in the affected ear, and temporary hearing loss. Upper cervical research has revealed that this condition may be caused by a lesion on the Eustachian tube that forms a decade or more after a whiplash injury.
  • Labyrinthitis – Excess fluid caused by an ear infection can lead to vertigo. When the infection clears up, vertigo should go away.

 

What Is Central Vertigo?

Central vertigo refers to vertigo caused by a problem with the central nervous system. This can involve some of the more serious and rare causes of vertigo such as a brain tumor or stroke. Other types of central vertigo include:

  • Migraines – Many people who suffer migraines with terrible headaches also have vertigo as a symptom. However, silent migraines (migraine with no headache) are also known to cause vertigo.
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – MS is a degenerative condition of the central nervous system. As a result, vertigo may become a common ailment as the disease progresses.
